Welcome to the photography website of Dafydd Owen.
On these pages you will find select sets and individual photos from my passion for photography, I hope there will be something that you like.
Having been photographing much longer than this site has been going - only a few sets have made it up so far but I'm regularly working on adding new and archived sets (particularly my nightclub Galleries) so please check back regularly.
To let you know when I've added new sets you can sign up to my newsletter (fairly irregular) or subscribe to my Updates news feed, both of these can be found on my Contact Page.
Additionally please feel free to get in touch for whatever reason, photo use, commissions or just a chat.
For a complete list of gallery updates please see the Gallery Updates page, else there are some highlights below.

Aisha wearing Lady Lycie Latex
A short shoot, part for fun/portfolio building part a warm-up for a larger shoot in January. Thanks very much to Lady Lucie for borrowing the fantastic latex and corset.
Latex can be tricky to shoot - still a few tricks for me to learn I think.

Natsumi Scarlett
A shoot/series of photos that we'd meant to do a while ago, prior to the others I've done that are of the same style. Even tried once but it just didn't work at the time. Well these ones finally turned out, thanks hun.

Photophilia 2
WARNING: *Some Adult Content*
Well - been quite a while since I've put up an update so here's one I'm very happy with. Photophilia is an event organised by friends (primarily Dee Bee) where photographers, models and designers come together for the day for mutual benefit photography.
A great concept in itself but giving great results. I really enjoyed the day but wow was there a lot of great photos to plough through to a manageable number! Such a creative environment and bunch of people.
Designers :
- Lady Lucie
- Lacing Lilth
- Engineers of Desire
- Ghoulia Peculiars

Male Nude
WARNING: *Adult Content*
Continuing the Nude theme - this time Male. As before main aim was for silhouette's but tried various other things too.
31st Aug 2009
Female Nude
WARNING: *Adult Content*
Experimenting with the nude form. My main aim was B+W silhouette but tried some other things too.
Have tried this in the past and it just didn't work - but it came together onthis one.

Glastonbury festival 2009
Been a bit of a delay in getting these up - been so busy of late with festivals, trips abroad and weddings. What is it with 2009 - seems to be THE wedding year!
Anyway - had a great Glastonbury - bit wet to begin with but then quickly dried up.
Some photo highlights inc photographing Prodigy in the pit - talk about melee!

Glamour to the max - Makeup shoot June 08
Quite an old set. This was the first of anything like this I'd done - not studio setup but the level of finishing and retouching. Not my usual thing but seems to be the style of the majority of makeup portfolios.
At the time I'd stared at these for so long that I decided to leave them alone for a bit. Thought it a shame not to put some up so here's a handful.

Buraka Som Sistema 12/2/2009
A mid week gig covered for DJmag. Was very please to cover it as I fancy moving into gigs a bit more. Great Portugese sounds system/band - look up some of their music on their MySpace page. Also pictures of the warm-up band.
Up until 10min before the band there was only ~3 of us in the pit with plenty of space to move around. I took a position to one side thinking I could move later. Minutes later a swarm of photographers flooded the pit! Ha. Lesson learnt.

Riot! The End 18/1/2009
The end of an era!
"The End" club in London closing and so this was the last ever "Riot!" club there. Was privelaged to be there to document it.
These photos have been up elswhere since the event (Jan) but I've got some spare time recently so putting up some of the better photos from previous events on here.
25th Mar 2009
Just put up a selection of galleries - photoshoots with friends, one from last year and a couple from last month.
 |
Sasha A few photos with my friend Sasha (And what is commonly known as "that" dress) |
|
Mina A few photos for Mina in the later winter sun. I'm not used to B&W much but that's what she wanted and it was great to try something different. |
|
Angeline Just a quiet Sunday in, he he. Tried some experiments with lights again some worked some didn't, but had a lovely time. It's great having so many diverse friends. |

Festivals of Sin Dec08
Photos from Festivals of Sin. A great little event in the Purple Turtle in Camden with lots of sexy people and things to do, watch + enjoy. Have avoided putting such stuff on my main site up to now (some may have seen these here) but think it's a shame not to put them up there.

HarderFaster Photographer of the Year 2008
"It seems there is no-one to touch him. Daf balances a fine combination of knowledge and talent behind the lens to win by a huge margin."
Woohoo! I've won Photographer of the Year on HarderFaster for the 3rd year running. Voting is open to any member of the public forum. I now get this little Icon thing next to each post I make!

Mostly Menai Suspension bridge and Britannia Bridge in one of the clear sunsets.

Bex + Miss Mina
A photoshoot at my place in Brixton before I had to move out + loose the space. Nice to try some B&W for a change too.
4th Jan 2009
Bangface Weekender 2008
Covered Bangface for DJ Mag back in April of 2008
Wasn't too sure what to expect as I'd seen some crazy photos and videos of Bangface. True to form it was filled to the bring with Crazy People. But top people that were up for a laugh and didn't take themselves seriously AT ALL.
The event ran all weekend at Pontins Camber Sands but I was only there for the Saturday.
Secret Garden Party 2008
My first time at this event and was there just for the fun of it so not a huge amount of photos.
Secret Garden Party is one of those smaller festivals which I now prefer to the larger ones like Glastonbury.
Lots of people (including us) dressing up too which is great. The vibe was more on having fun and taking part rather than the need to see lots of bands.
3rd Jan 2009
Ibiza 2008
Photos from a week in Ibiza. Most a holiday but did a spot of work for Above & Beyond.
These are just photos of the island and a few friends for good measure.

Pre Summer Ball TG 2008
Another old set going up.
Photoset from pre-drinks and dressing up at my old place in Brixton.
